How to Make Croissant Pudding

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. Lightly butter a small oval or other shallow 1 1/2-2 quart baking dish and set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 cup whole milk, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
  4. Add 6-8 croissants, torn into bite-sized pieces.
  5. Gently toss to coat the croissants in the egg mixture. Let sit for 10 minutes, turning occasionally, to allow the croissants to absorb some of the liquid.
  6. Pour the croissant mixture into the prepared baking dish. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Scatter 1/4 cup sliced almonds evenly over the top.
  8. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the pudding has puffed up and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm, optionally topped with whipped cream!
